Perhaps you don't own an iPhone? Theres a bunch of unremovable crap on mine. A comically bad notes app that loses notes, a poorly implemented reminders app, weather app (branded with a asmall yahoo add), Games Center which I can only a

I'm not sure what you mean? The Nazi party was a fascist organisation...among other things. Mussolini's party was fascist as well. I dont think it was possible to be a Nazi supporter and not a proponent of a Fascist agenda in the

Fascism is a term that is bandied about without much thought these days. Its well worth reading the overview on the wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism Many Nazi beliefs aren't strictly fascist, c

Why abuse the language? Almost every thing that is free is paid by some one else. Free means free to the person receiving the good/service. I appreciate English may not be your first language, but if you want to point out the costs, th

The iPhone 4 unlocked costs £319 in the Uk, or around $490 USD. To claim that this is an "ultra-discount device" is preposterous. I'm sure you can get it free with an expensive contract, but the costs remains decidedly non-c

You can also set a proper password on the iPhone (and presumably Android). You should probably have one of these safeguards set up if your phone has unfettered access to your email, social networks, contacts etc.

As a .Net developer who uses ORM's the idea of not understanding the underlying SQL scares me. n+1 select errors would likely be rampant. Joel Spolsky covered this well in his article "The Law of Leaky Abstractions": http://www.joelonsoftw

Like you I'm a gamer, and like you this doesn't appeal. However I can see exactly why people are doing this. There have been a big explosion of indie games recently and that can be put down to iOS and Steam. Both make it super easy to get g

This and your other comment make me really sad. For everything that is posted here on Hacker News, there will be many people who are familiar with it, who have domain knowledge. In a child comment you refer to this as "a game physics 'Hell

Excel 2007 was released in late 2006. Six and a half years have passed and two new versions have been released. It would be much more interesting to see the accuracy of the current version, then this very old version.

Using existing IP is a lot safer, and will generate more sales, even if otherwise the games are the same. There are a lot of people who played Monkey island in their youth and are nostalgic for it, but who don't follow the latest game news

The things I see all the time are "learn to program" tutorials that go through in a very formulaic way and explain programing. I haven't seen any such things for design (and would love to).

Your comment adds nothing to this discussion, you didn't even link to the previous comments as the other poster did. What are you trying to achieve?
